[net.audio] hologram and electro-statics??

The hologram works, but I personally don't like the compromises.
Stereophony should be more than a one-listener fixed-position
experience.  Also, the fidelity of the hologram leaves a bit to
be desired.  I know I've said good things about Carver in the
past but this is one gadget he can keep.  As far as the electrostats
go, I generally prefer their sound to that of dynamic drivers.  If
I were you, I'd get the electrostats, sell the hologram, and buy a
better preamp with the money.

Please note that these are my opinions and not that of my employer.

When I bought my carver preamp, I was told that the hologram will not
work on omnidirectional speakers or electro-statics. I'm wondering if
anyone has ever tried such an arrangement. I currently have a set of
DCM timewindows which are somewhat omnidirectional and the hologram
works great. I did however, get a better hologram effect with a set
of M&K's. I ask this because I'm considering a purchase of a pair of
electro-statics. Any comments would be appreciated.
